Introduction
In this article we will explain how to create a button in the POS. There are many types of buttons, from adding a product to reloading a voucher. And that makes Golfmanager POS one of the most powerful tools.
The buttons can be grouped into two types:
Folders. There are buttons that we will only need them to put more buttons inside it, acting as if it were a folder. For example "Favorites". To make these types of buttons we will simply have to leave the "command" field empty. To place a button inside this folder we will have to configure the "Depends on" field to be the "Favorites" button. The result will be that when we click on the favorite button we will see all the buttons that depend on it.
Actions. There are buttons that, when clicking on them, will create events according to the command we configure. Below we will detail all the commands you can use.
In the POS there are two areas of buttons:
Left column. This is where the folder type buttons are usually placed.
Central column. Where we will see the buttons of actions normally. In the central part of the POS also we will be able to put buttons of type folder if we wish it. For example, you can have the button "Rental sticks" in the central part and, when clicking on it, the buttons that we have placed inside it with the different models of rental sticks would be shown.
General
To create a button for the POS we will follow the steps below:
Priority: Here we can define the order in which the buttons will be shown in the POS. Put a "1" if you want the button to appear at the beginning, and a "100" if you want it to appear at the end.
Text: Name that will appear on the POS button. We recommend using the shortest name possible.
Depends on: Here we will choose the folder type button where we want to place this button. In case we want to show this button in the left column of the POS, this field should be left empty.
Box: Here we can define for which box this field will be visible. If you leave it empty the button will be visible for all the cash registers. This functionality is useful to customize a POS for the Pro Shop and another one for Restaurant.
Command.
Here we will define what event the system should perform when this button is clicked. If you leave it empty the button will act as a folder. We detail all the commands you can perform and their event:
Popular
Add product. This is one of the most used commands. Clicking this button will add the product to the cart. To complete the configuration of this button you must fill in the following field "Product".
Send for online payment. This button will send an email to the customer with the pending sale lines to be paid for online. When paid online, this sale will appear in green (paid").
Generate invoice. To issue a complete invoice for this sale.
New quota. To be able to create an installment to a customer. When you choose this command, the system will offer you the possibility to fill in the following field "Quota". If you leave it empty, when you click the button, a window with an empty "Quota" field will appear and you will have to select it manually. However, if you set the button with a fee in that next field, that window will appear open with that fee type already selected.
New reservation. To be able to make an extra type of reservation. These types of reservations are usually sold from the POS, and for that you will need a button. To complete the configuration you will need to select in the following field "Type of reservation" what type of reservation will be made when you click on the button.
New sale. To open a new sale without clicking on the Golfmanager main menu.
New voucher. To be able to recharge a voucher to a client. When you choose this command, the system will offer you the possibility to fill in the following field "Type of voucher". If you leave it empty, when you click the button, a window with an empty "Voucher" field will appear and you will have to select it manually. However, if you set the button with a bonus type in that next field, that window will appear open with that bonus type already selected.
New deposit. To be able to recharge a deposit to a client.

Add discount. To apply a discount to the sale. To complete the configuration of this button you will have to define the amount of discount in the next field "Discount". You can add the discount directly from the keyboard without a button, but it is usually used when a club has very frequent fixed discounts, for example "15% for being a member".
Add label. To add a label to the sale lines of the cart. This functionality is usually used in the restaurant "Extra potatoes", "No cheese", etc.

When you click on this button, a screen will open where you will put separated by spaces the different amounts "500 250 250". When you click on "accept" you will see how the sales line you had selected becomes 3 lines with the amounts you have chosen. You will see that the units have also been updated proportionally. In this way you can pay one of the three lines and leave the other two unpaid.

What is priority in Golfmanager?
In many occasions you will come across the word priority in Golfmanager, either when creating a type of booking, a tpv button, a client's bank account, a timetable, etc...
Here we explain some examples of priorities:
The priority in booking types, helps us to show the bookings higher or lower in the dropdowns.
The priority in POS, helps us to organize the POS buttons, those with lower priority will be shown at the top.
The priority in account number, in case the client or company has two account numbers, the program will select the account with the lowest priority.
The priority in time interval, helps us to indicate which interval prevails over the other, the one with the lowest priority will act first.
In summary the priority helps us to choose which elements act in front in case of having repeated values or to show the vision of elements to our liking.
